In 1939 Perkins served an unexpired term as Commonwealth's Attorney for the thirty-first judicial circuit. He was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1940 and was then elected Knott County Attorney in 1941 and reelected in 1945. Perkins resigned the county attorney's office on January 1, 1948 to become counsel for the Kentucky Department of Highways. During World War II Perkins enlisted in the United States Army and saw service in Europe. In 1948 Perkins ran against the incumbent Congressman from Kentucky's 7th District, Wendell H. Meade. Perkins unseated Meade and was elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-first and to the seventeen succeeding Congresses and served from January 3, 1949, until his death. Perkins was the chairman of the (Ninetieth through Ninety-eighth Congresses, 1967�1984). While a part of the committee, his work helped produce the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and Head Start. The local Head Start in his home city of Hindman, Kentucky is named after Congressman Perkins.. The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act was first authorized by the federal government in 1984 and reauthorized in 1998. Named for Carl D. Perkins, the act aims to increase the quality of technical education within the United States in order to help the economy. On August 12, 2006 President George W Bush signed into law the reauthorization of the Act of 1998. The new law, the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006, was passed almost unanimously by Congress in late July, 2006. The new law includes three major areas of revision: The new law also includes new requirements for �programs of study� that link academic and technical content across secondary and postsecondary education, and strengthened local accountability provisions that will ensure continuous program improvement. The Perkins Act provides almost $1.3 billion in federal support for career and technical education programs in all 50 States. The law will extend through 2012. The Awakening, 1776-1826 Independent Action, 1826-1876 The Vocational Education Age Emerges, 1876-1926 Coming of Age, 1926-1976 Federal: Alaska is estimated to have received $4,214,921 from the Perkins Basic State Grant and $250,163 from Tech Prep in FY 2008. Alaska splits its federal funds with 85 percent going to secondary and 15 percent going to postsecondary. Postsecondary funding is done entirely through competitive grants. A reserve fund has been set up for programs that cost under $15,000.
